As far as I know, they don't sell aftermarket exhaust systems in their own name, but I'd be kind of surprised if there's no equivalent to the NPP system available for the Challenger - that's kind of a ubiquitous feature on performance cars these days.

Who wants to bet its not an American Co.? America is effed. Too dependent outside foreign sources. And we wonder why we couldn't get cars built because of lack of Taiwan made chips. Sad. I wonder if they also make chips for our military tanks an aircraft.

Captain to crew chief: Sgt...Why TF is this plane not in the air? Its been sitting here for 2 effing months.

Sgt: Sir the plane is grounded and out of action because were are waiting for chips from Taiwan. In about another week we will have about 10, F22s grounded for the same reason.

Captain: WTF!? You can't make this sh!t up! What dumb Fncks made the decision to supply our military from sources we can not control?

Sgt: The eff if I know sir.

My car does have the active valve. And Corsa seems to be close to NPP. What i have noticed is catbacks are going for $1500 and up and that is just nuts for a little sound. The Xtreme with quad tip is $2200. Yeah, no

Yeah, the 392 seems to be louder from the exterior (from what I've been told) but it sure seems quieter than the Camaro from the interior..

Yeah some of that 4400lbs is a lot of mercedes sound desdening.

Fran: What are you getting at here? The Camaro NPP is made by Faurecia. You have a Challenger. The Camaro NPP sounds fine to me but many don't care for it. Are you stirring a pot that no one on this site can drink from? Or do you have an actual goal here that is substantive.

KingLT1 · 08-10-2021, 10:42 AM

^ I wondered the same...lol

I do think the factory NPP sounds good it just needs to be louder when the valves are open. However the ZL1 NPP seems to be a touch louder then the SS. My brother just recently traded in his Hellcat for a 2019 ZL1 A10 in Riverside blue with 1k miles. He claims the suspension and build quality is better on the 6th gen. I think they both are good but agree with him.

Have you checked out ChallengerTalk or googled anything? If I recall correctly, a resonator delete or swapping the resonators for the bullet product is supposed to really liven up the Challengers.

KingLT1 · 08-10-2021, 11:26 AM

Cat-less mids on the Challengers make them sound Excellent with no drone. You can use the No fouler O2 sims to keep from getting a CEL. My brother had that setup on 3 different Challenger...2 Scat packs and then a Hellcat.

FarmerFran · 08-10-2021, 11:35 AM

Ok,

To clear things up, i personally like how the npp sounds. I know from car to car it would be different. But usually if you like the sound of 1 mfg it can follow to another. Magnaflow is low, flowmaster is raspy etc...
I wanted to know who made it because a google search said Corsa had a solution and i did not think that was the oem. So i asked. And it turned into a discussion.no harm no foul.

FarmerFran · 08-10-2021, 11:37 AM

If your curious, I am thinking mid muffler delete and valve delete since we cannot control our valve via the touch screen.

Billy Boat makes a good exhaust for the Challenger and Charger but as other systems are very expensive. A friend of mine installed one on his Challenger and sounded real good.

Based on the info in post 8 I'm gonna take a shot in the dark. A French company?
